I'm going to be picking up some Batman in a few months--mainly the upcoming Hush storyline, but I think I'm getting a little of Batman R.I.P. as well.
I don't ordinarily pick up the Batman titles these days.
And I'm not planning to add anything Batman to my get list permanently. But I know, like, next to nothing about what's been up with him, just what I read in other books and occasionally see online.
But...a few years ago I went on a real Batman spree and got everything I could find him in, which I think was three or so regular titles and whatever miniseries were going on at the time. And I still didn't have a real grasp of what Batman was up to. (Never could figure out what the differences were supposed to be between the various books.)
So, you know, I don't think I'm going to worry about it. I'm not buying it for Batman, I'm buying it for the particular stories. I think I will just embrace my lack of Bat-knowledge and see what I can see.

I usually just find his supporting cast so much more interesting than Batman himself. I have to admit that Batman: Confidential has been a hoot, but a lot of that is the Kevin Maguire artwork.
Hush was an awesome series, I highly recommend that one. And only the first issue of Batman RIP is out so far but it will be happening in Nightwing and Robin as well as a few other books too (there's a checklist in the books). But there's a newly styled Joker in it who is hands-down the scariest one I've ever seen. I haven't written about the issue yet because I don't want to look at him again. It's worth it.
